Wow, I'm flattered. Minor correction; we're on the San Francisco peaks which are not technically part of the Rockies. Anyway, thank you for the honor, but thank you even more for your ongoing encouragement and support. You were the first to welcome me/us into blogtopia (y!sctp), and have been a source of inspiration.
Great list of choices, too. After only a quick glance around, I'm going to be expanding my blogroll.
We humbly and sincerely thank you for the honour, MF. You rock.
Regards, Cernig
Thank you so much! I had no idea you even knew I existed out here! I am so honored and I am putting the icon up RIGHT NOW!

I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl!

Py, Cernig, and Blue Girl--
I LOVE you all. I am that ONE GUY who doesn't even read Daily Kos. I prefer my blogs small, and really love what my peers have to say. This is my little way of saying "Thank You" to you for all you do day in and day out.
If you're like me, sometimes it feels like you're shouting into a hurricane. Well... I hear you! And I really like what you write. Quite often, I link up what YOU had to say, because you said it better than I ever could.
Here we are-- Celebrate one another!
I wish you all a very Happy New Year. Here's my big advice for this year: pay down debt, take no Home Equity loans, and don't use your credit cards this year.
There are more y'r welcomes to come, but, I thought I shoot this out to you all right away. I really like y'all.

Always honored to be considered I'm only doing my part to make this a better place. Looks like we won't have to worry about "Shut it Down" as this country is imploding on it's own. Oh well we gave it a shot. It's going to be a hard choice on these great blogs. I too only seem to go to the small blogs. Guess I hate big crowds.
Thanks so much for the honor, Monkeyfister. I always link back when I steal your videos, and you're always welcome to steal mine right back.
May I humbly suggest one additional award:
The Golden Monkey Gone Too Soon Award to the late, great Steve Gilliard.
And the Lord Atrios said "Let traffic begat traffic." And lo there was traffic.
I had never even visited this place, and now I have a new 'Monkeyfisters' bookmark folder to explore. I don't know how Maha dropped off my radar screen nor where ntodd landed, now I know. It is a big wide blogosphere out there and it is amazing how you can trap yourself in one little corner. Thanks for the tips.
'One small step for Sitemeter, one giant leap for blogkind'. Or something.
But I did resend the instructions! I swear! And I haven't gotten the Very Special Email! I blame SPAM filters! And Clinton! And overuse of exclamation points!
And thanks!
What does "consonant-level" mean? Is that better than "vowel-level?"
Thank you ever so much, mf, I am flattered as ell as honored right out of my boxer-briefs. I will have that list of three for you soon....
I haven't received the e-mail yet. Maybe you sent to a different address than this one? I don't know what to do until I get it so I'll wait for now. 
Michael--
Check your blog's email/PM. I sent you what you need to know!

Help. The info you sent got lost somewhere in cyberspace. It's not in my email box.
Demeur--
I sent it off again. Check your email!

"I honestly wish that I had time for more awards, but, we all have real jobs, and only so much time in a day to read new blogs."
Life's full of trade-offs. The hard decisions. To work or do the next best thing: read blogs.
Sheesh!
Thank you monkeyfister! I am honored to be listed among such very fine bleeding heart progressive company.
Cheers and a happy new year to all of you! And a toast to the many victories for truth, justice and the coming progressive era that we are going to win in 2008.
you're the best, mf. thanks for the WTF? props. maru is the best there is. glad she lets me join in the fun. pcc.
I think I enjoyed the award titles even more than the awards themselves! But thanks for honoring some great work.
This is a pretty cool gig. Arthur Silber's the only one on your list that I knew other than Survival Acres, which is how I got here... linked from there.
It's good seeing other resources listed, ones I wasn't aware of. I'd suggest a few that you don't have listed. I'd suggest that my list of recommended blogs at my own blog contains at least 3 or 4 that any of the readers here would find useful.
Thanks for this awards gig, it's good to learn about new places to read thoughts that are sensible, rather than Imperial, or jingoistic, or corporate-stooge in tenor and outlook.
Dammit!! I missed out again?!! I wanna re-count!! Something smells like a Katheryn Harris job in here!!
I wanna Re-Count!!!
:-D
Aww shucks... Who am I kidding? I wouldn't know what to do with a MonkeyFister Award anyway. With my five Oscars, six Emmies and nine Grammies, I'd remove all those dust-laden awards and put my MonkeyFister right center on my fireplace hearth directly under my personally autographed Peter Max portrait of myself.
I'm just going to have to try harder in '08.
Fruitlessly Flawless
